Carrera is not Taycan. Why would you equate both? Different cars with different targets.




> Different cars with different targets.

The head of the product disagrees with you. No offense but I think he has a slightly better idea of their target buyer than you.

>AW: How much was Tesla on Porsche’s mind when the Taycan was produced? It seems like you’re going right after Model S with this car.

>SW: The first target for ourselves was to make sure that the Taycan becomes a Porsche. We needed to make it as close to the 911, our icon, as possible. Obviously, we had a look at the competition, we had a look at BMW, Mercedes, Tesla.

They mean this as a status symbol, not as the competing vehicle? Taycan is a four door car. A daily driver. Not a two-door sports car. It would compete with Panamera, not 911. Equating the two is wrong in the context of mileage driven. See other comments for that.
